FES
One of the world's most maze city "Fes Old Town"
Overlooking the city from the "Marine Morning Cemetery" spreading north of Gisa Gate. It is the old city of Fez that spreads in the walls.
Labyrinth city where even the car can not enter ___ Old city of Fes. Means of transporting goods is still human power, mule or donkey. Even if you are going to visit, there are no other ways to walk or lose yourself with a guide as long as no buses or taxis enter the city.
As a result, skyscrapers and modern buildings rarely exist, and Islamic cities as it is in the Middle Ages are being passed down. This time we will introduce the largest labyrinth city in Morocco and the World Heritage "Fes Old Town".
Walking down the world heritage "old city of Fez"
Seminary built in the marine era, Boo Inania Madrasa. A combination of marble and wood, engraved arabesques, stained glass are really beautiful. Because the idolatry was forbidden in the Islamic area, such geometric patterns and plant patterns developed
I am confident in the sense of direction, and I like walking astray, I walk steadily without looking at a map etc. There were two main streets in the center, and there are castle walls in the surroundings, so I thought (even though I should have gotten into one of them) (because I thought that).
This delusion walk is fun! Old city of Fes is a very old town built in the 8th century. Not only beautiful buildings such as mosques (Muslim temples) and Madrasas (higher education institutions attached to mosques, close to universities) are beautiful, but also medieval houses and decorative tiles and mosaics combining wood and stone, Arabesque carved in doors and window frames (Islamic Geometric Pattern), Running Children are Absolutely Photogenic.

Several hours walking around excitedly. I will not come across the main street or the wall. I have no idea where I am. Always walking with drawing a map in the head, the road in the Old Town is slowly bent little by little, many bends hard, up and down, go back in the dead end so accurately map I can not draw.
It will be meaningless to look at the guidebook anymore as this happens. Since there is no choice, listen to the way to the husband of the shop and the children playing and have him take me to the main street. Such generals are very kind. Many people say "I love Japan" and such encounters are also fun.

Many tourists step into this old town of Fez through this Bou and Giarde gate. Following this is Tallah Segila, a minaret (tower) that can be seen far is Boo Inania Madrasa
Rubba and donkey who are still active as a means of transportHow to get lost in Fes old town
A passage through the bottom of the building and a porcelain shop that made use of the space. Even main streets like Taller Seegilla and Tallah Kevilla are many such things
Fes Old Town is one of the world's labyrinth cities. I would like to enjoy getting lost, rather than looking for ways to not get lost. However, there are things called "how to get lost" even if you say so. Self-directed guides are persistent and there is concern about security. Let's make sure to get the latest information on the site by using local tour companies and word of mouth sites.
Well, it is a way of getting lost. Since I do not know how long it will take ten hours if I am lost indefinitely, let's set a range of confusion. There are two main streets in the center of the old city: Taller · Segila and Tallah · Kevira. It is said that "It will never get lost as long as you are walking", but because it is a road like "This is the main street?", I can get to know it for the first time as I walked over and over again.

Let's walk down from Tuar · Seguira from the Bou and Gardian gate and walk to the confluence point with Taller · Kevira which goes vertically. To firmly memorize this confluence point. Next, let's remember the way of the road by walking Tallah Kevira from the Boo Jouroud Gate to the Kara Vienna Mosque. If you master the two main streets, let's walk north from there and walk. Even if you get lost, someday you will be on the main street or on the main street, so not much worry.
After that I will extend the range of walking with this condition. Go to Cala Wien · Mosque → Andalus · Mosque → Huto Gate and grasp the state of the main street. And this time I will walk to the south and walk. In this way, you first set the standard road, and if you deviate from that direction in a certain direction, you will not get lost greatly.
Because the old city of Fes is surrounded by the walls and the main street where the car is running, you can not go outside unless you cross these.
Even so, if you are in trouble, you will ask a person a way, but when you call out, choose a person living in the place, such as a store person or a lady who came out of the house. People who are solid in their identity are safe, and if they are neighbors they are also familiar with the way. The probability of being a guide is also low, so you will not be charged for money.

The best part of the idolisic era remains the Kara Vienna district of the old city. As the name suggests, Fez is the largest area in the area where people who emigrated from Kailan lived mainly in the vicinity of Tallah · Segila and Tallah · Kevira.
The landmark is the Kara Vienna Mosque. A small mosque was built in this area in 859, and when it was greatly expanded in the 10th century it became the largest mosque in North Africa to accommodate 20 thousand people.

Tannelli is a leather craftsman town, especially the dyeing district is supposed to be mixed with the smell of leather beast odor and dyeing agent. Although the smell is intense, the contrast that various dyes draw is very beautiful, and it is also popular in areas where photography flourishes.

Explore the Jewish quarter, Meller. Both buildings and streets become pictures anyway
For Fes el Bali (Old Fes) centered on the Cala Vienna and Andalus districts, the area built in the West is called Fes El Judid (New Fes).
After the Idrises morning was destroyed, it was built in 1276 by the Marine tribe which is also a group of Berbers, where the royal palace was set as the capital of the marine morning. This royal palace is still being used as a residence. Although it is a new Fes, it is an ancient capital with a history of more than 700 years, as well as Fes El Bali, a city where walking is fun.

History of Fes old town
Lucy 's gate in the Andalus district. Bus stops and taxi stands are spreading southward
Islamicization in North Africa begins in the Umayya morning (Arab Empire), a great Islamic empire that started in the 7th century. The Umayya rule dominated Western India, Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula from India, and conveyed Islam to the rest of the world.
Eventually in the empire the Abbas family 's revolution succeeded and the Abbasid Morning (Islamic Empire) was established, but there were not many opposing forces. That group is the Id Lease family.
According to legend, the Idilee family is a historical blood line drawing blood of Muslim founder Muhammad (Mohammed). Idris I was expelled because he did not acknowledge Abbasid, but succeeded in receiving assistance from North Africa because he was drawing blood from the Berbers. In 788 Sultan (the king in the Islamic area) established the Idris Early, built Fes.
In the morning idolises will be ruined in 974, in North Africa the Muslim countries by the Berbers, such as the Agrubs morning, the Murabito morning and the Muwahid morning, were established through the 8th and 12th centuries. Fes continued prosperity as a hub of North Africa alongside Marrakesh, Kailuan, Tunis.
And in 1196 when the Marine morning started, Fes was developed as the capital. Many mosques and madrassas were constructed and developed as the central city of Islam in North Africa.
When the Marine Morning is destroyed in 1465, Fes loses its position as a developed city, but thanks to the preservation of the Old Town, it has been passed down now.
